MK Dons boss Paul Ince is ready to snub talks with Leicester City to take the job at Blackburn Rovers.
The Mirror says Rovers are ready to offer him a three-year deal to continue the work started by his former Manchester United team-mate.
Ex-Blackburn striker Alan Shearer is the other name on a two-man short-list.
Ince is likely to take his No.2 Ray Mathias to Blackburn, should he agree a deal.
